Dragons Panzer IV AUSF. J Late

[outerlimtz]

Picked this up at a model show back in Jan. This is my first tank build ever. It's been a love/hate relationship, leaning more on the love side. 
There are a lot of mistakes here in it, but i'm leaving them as a learning experience. I also found that the older Dragon instructions aren't always clear or correct.
 I am working on the tracks currently wish has driven me insane. 

First eve camco scheme painted, first time working with photo-etch. There's a lot of firsts here!

You've definitely got a lot of detail added to this one OL. For your first camo job ever you're doing quite the job on it. For SURE looking forward to more on this.

Well, choosing any Dragon kit, old or new, is a bold step for a novice armor modeler. 🫡 You’ve already discovered the pitfalls of Dragon Instructions… 🤨 But in spite of those speed bumps, you look to be making great work of this kit. Bravo!!!

Kodos for tackling a Dragon kit! You’re not kidding about their instructions. Looks like you can see the finish line from here.

Hi
Well done for even finishing a dragon kit last time I built a dragon panzer iv wirblewind it never made paint but the bin .
It was a mixture of kit that did not fit well.
Well done
Ossie

Great start on this one. I don’t know the first thing about armor but it’s looking good!!

I love the shade you used for the oxide primer. Was that out of a bottle or a custom mix? My first armor kit was Dragon's ancient Sherman Firefly, and there are so many things I assembled wrong, thanks to Dragon's infamous instructions...

Keep on and bring this one across the finish line!

Thanks. It's a 50/50 mix of AK Interactives Real Colors Rotbraun and Testors Flat Red.
